Definitions
- the invention relates to a container that can be used for containing collectable objects that are substantially laminar and/or are quite small, such as metal medals and/or coins, or banknotes and/or postage stamps.
- Ring binders are known and used as containers for metal coins and/or medals, which ring binders contain transparent plastic envelopes or pockets. Each pocket is provided with a plurality of pouches, in each of which a single coin or medal can be inserted. At an edge portion of each pocket holes are made, which are aligned and suitably distanced from one another in order to enable a user to insert the pocket between the opened rings of the binder, thereafter to click the rings shut. Thus each pocket is associated to the binder and a user can leaf through the various pockets present therein in the same way as the pages of a book.
- the coins or medals can be inserted in laminar or laminar cardboard supports, quadrilaterally shaped, so-called coin holding cards with "porthole", which are provided with circular windows and which can be inserted in the pockets of the plastic pockets.
- Each binder can be provided with a case, made of leather or synthetic material, having the same shape and size as the binder itself, and into which the binder can be slidably inserted.
- a drawback of the above-described containers is that they are complex to be manufactured.
- the ring-blocking device has to be manufactured, fixed internally of a "book-type" element, and plastic pockets have to be made with holes in positions corresponding to the positions of the rings of the ring-blocking device. This increases the production time and, consequently, the costs for producing the binder.
- a further drawback is that the plastic pockets are subject to wear at the perforated zones due to the repeated movements of the user in inserting, removing and leafing through the pockets. This process of wear can cause a breakage of the pockets or in any case a substantial deterioration in the appearance thereof, and by extension a deterioration in the appearance of the whole binder containing the coins. This is significantly undesirable in a container the function of which is to conserve and especially to present the collection adequately.
- Cardboard or plasticized paper blanks are known too, which are folded into pack-forms or book-forms and can house a laminar support or coin holding card.
- This coin support can be directly glued by adhesive to a wall of the blank or can be associated thereto by suitable foldable tabs and/or slots realised in the blank. In both cases, the insertion of the coin support into the blank is laborious and complicated.
- the above-described fixing systems are not suitable in cases where the coin support must be repeatedly extracted and inserted' into the container, as the tabs and/or the slots are subject to easy breakage and the adhesive is unsuitable for multiple detachment and reattachment purposes.
- closure systems of the above containers which consist of tabs or strips to be inserted in special slits to achieve a fixed joint, or ribbons or strings to be wound about the container.
- closure systems are also laborious and complex to use, and require a certain amount of time for the closure operation to be performed, not to mention a certain degree of expertise in order to avoid destroying the container itself and achieving a complete and reliable closure.
- An object of the invention is to improve the known containers for coins, medals and other similar collectable objects.
- Another object is to provide a container for coins and/or medals that is simple and not expensive to manufacture.
- a further object is to provide a container that is easy and quick to open and close in order to gain access to the coins and/or the medals.
- Still another object is to provide a container that enables easy and fast insertion of the coin and/or medal support internally thereof.
- a further object is to provide a container having an aesthetic appearance that is substantially preservable over a period of time.
- a container for collectable objects comprising a casing angularly foldable so as to form at least first flap means and second flap means, which are adjacent to one another and arranged so that to contain a laminar support for said objects which is interposed between said first flap means and said second flap means, magnetic fastening means being provided so that to maintain said first flap means tightly associated to said second flap means when said first flap means and said second flap means are mutually positioned one against the other.
- the container can be very simply and easily opened and closed to insert or extract the laminar support, or to view the objects contained therein.
- the magnetic fastening means guarantees a reliable and secure closure, even where there is a frequent use of the container.
- Tabs can also be provided at the edges of the first flap means and/or the second flap means, which tabs function as guides for the laminar support.
- the laminar support is protected from wear when it is inserted into the container and/or removed therefrom, as well as when the collector opens the container to examine the objects therein contained.
- a container 1 for containing one or more coins 2 housed in niches or seats realized in a laminar support or coin holding card 3 made for example of plasticized cardboard and quadrilaterally shaped.

Description
- The invention relates to a container that can be used for containing collectable objects that are substantially laminar and/or are quite small, such as metal medals and/or coins, or banknotes and/or postage stamps.
- Ring binders are known and used as containers for metal coins and/or medals, which ring binders contain transparent plastic envelopes or pockets. Each pocket is provided with a plurality of pouches, in each of which a single coin or medal can be inserted. At an edge portion of each pocket holes are made, which are aligned and suitably distanced from one another in order to enable a user to insert the pocket between the opened rings of the binder, thereafter to click the rings shut. Thus each pocket is associated to the binder and a user can leaf through the various pockets present therein in the same way as the pages of a book.
- The coins or medals can be inserted in laminar or laminar cardboard supports, quadrilaterally shaped, so-called coin holding cards with "porthole", which are provided with circular windows and which can be inserted in the pockets of the plastic pockets.
- Each binder can be provided with a case, made of leather or synthetic material, having the same shape and size as the binder itself, and into which the binder can be slidably inserted.
- A drawback of the above-described containers is that they are complex to be manufactured. To make a ring binder of known type, the ring-blocking device has to be manufactured, fixed internally of a "book-type" element, and plastic pockets have to be made with holes in positions corresponding to the positions of the rings of the ring-blocking device. This increases the production time and, consequently, the costs for producing the binder.
- A further drawback is that the plastic pockets are subject to wear at the perforated zones due to the repeated movements of the user in inserting, removing and leafing through the pockets. This process of wear can cause a breakage of the pockets or in any case a substantial deterioration in the appearance thereof, and by extension a deterioration in the appearance of the whole binder containing the coins. This is significantly undesirable in a container the function of which is to conserve and especially to present the collection adequately.
- Cardboard or plasticized paper blanks are known too, which are folded into pack-forms or book-forms and can house a laminar support or coin holding card. This coin support can be directly glued by adhesive to a wall of the blank or can be associated thereto by suitable foldable tabs and/or slots realised in the blank. In both cases, the insertion of the coin support into the blank is laborious and complicated.
- Furthermore, the above-described fixing systems are not suitable in cases where the coin support must be repeatedly extracted and inserted' into the container, as the tabs and/or the slots are subject to easy breakage and the adhesive is unsuitable for multiple detachment and reattachment purposes.
- To the above drawback can be added another, namely the closure systems of the above containers, which consist of tabs or strips to be inserted in special slits to achieve a fixed joint, or ribbons or strings to be wound about the container. These closure systems are also laborious and complex to use, and require a certain amount of time for the closure operation to be performed, not to mention a certain degree of expertise in order to avoid destroying the container itself and achieving a complete and reliable closure.
- For these reasons, the above-described known containers are not particularly suited to high-number production, the times necessary for the insertion of the coin supports and for the closure of the containers themselves being very long and therefore the costs being high.
- An object of the invention is to improve the known containers for coins, medals and other similar collectable objects.
- Another object is to provide a container for coins and/or medals that is simple and not expensive to manufacture.
- A further object is to provide a container that is easy and quick to open and close in order to gain access to the coins and/or the medals.
- Still another object is to provide a container that enables easy and fast insertion of the coin and/or medal support internally thereof.
- A further object is to provide a container having an aesthetic appearance that is substantially preservable over a period of time.
- According to the invention, a container is provided for collectable objects comprising a casing angularly foldable so as to form at least first flap means and second flap means, which are adjacent to one another and arranged so that to contain a laminar support for said objects which is interposed between said first flap means and said second flap means, magnetic fastening means being provided so that to maintain said first flap means tightly associated to said second flap means when said first flap means and said second flap means are mutually positioned one against the other.
- Owing to the invention collectable objects, especially but not exclusively coins and/or medals, can be conserved without damaging the laminar support. Furthermore, the container can be very simply and easily opened and closed to insert or extract the laminar support, or to view the objects contained therein. The magnetic fastening means guarantees a reliable and secure closure, even where there is a frequent use of the container.
- Tabs can also be provided at the edges of the first flap means and/or the second flap means, which tabs function as guides for the laminar support. Thus the laminar support is protected from wear when it is inserted into the container and/or removed therefrom, as well as when the collector opens the container to examine the objects therein contained.
- It is also possible to insert or extract the laminar support easily and rapidly without damaging or breaking the support itself or the container.
- The invention can be better understood and implemented with reference to the enclosed drawings, that show some exemplifying and non limitative embodiments thereof, in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container for coins and/or medals, shown in an open configuration and during an operation phase;
- Figure 2 is a cross section made taken along the plane II-II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the container of Figure 1 during another operation phase;
- Figure 4 is a cross section made along the plane IV-IV of Figure 3;
- Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the container of Figure 1 during a further operation phase;
- Figure 6 is an enlarged partial lateral view, showing the container of Figure 1 in a closed configuration;
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of a version of the container of Figure 1, in an open configuration;
- Figure 8 is a partial cross section taken along the plane VIII-VIII of Figure 7;
- Figure 9 is a front view showing the container of Figure 7 in a closed configuration.
- With reference to figures 1 and 6, a
container 1 is provided for containing one ormore coins 2 housed in niches or seats realized in a laminar support orcoin holding card 3 made for example of plasticized cardboard and quadrilaterally shaped. Thecontainer 1 comprises arectangular casing 4 which can be angularly folded upon itself along a longitudinal groove or creasing 5. The creasing 5 divides thecasing 4 into first flap means 6 and second flap means 7, quadrilaterally-shaped, associated one to another and provided respectively with afirst surface 8 and asecond surface 9. Thefirst surface 8 and thesecond surface 9 are arranged to face one another during use when first flap means 6 is rotated by 180° with respect to second flap means 7. - The
casing 4 can be made of cardboard, plastic material, leather or another synthetic material. - The
container 1 comprises magnetic fastening means for keeping first flap means 6 tightly associated to second flap means 7 when first flap means 6 and second flap means 7 are put one against the other into a closed configuration. - The magnetic fastening means comprise one or more
first magnets 15 which are incorporated in first flap means 6, i.e. inserted within the thickness thereof, for example in opposite end portions of first flap means 6. Themagnets 15, preferably two in number, can be disc-shaped, for example, and can be slim, having a thickness that is variable between 1 mm and 3 mm. - In a version not illustrated, the
first magnets 15 can be applied directly on thefirst surface 8 of first flap means 6, for example by gluing. - In a further version not illustrated, the
first magnets 15 are inserted in thicknesses or shims fixed to thefirst surface 8. - A
tab 11 is fixed on an end portion of thesecond surface 9, whichtab 11 is arranged parallel to thecreasing 5 and has a cross section which is substantially C-shaped, the concavity of the cross section facing towards thecreasing 5. A couple offurther tabs second surface 9. Thefurther tabs tab 11. Taken together, thetab 11 and thefurther tabs means 10, being substantially U-shaped and having the concavity facing thecreasing 5. In use, thelaminar support 3 can be slidably inserted inside the guidingmeans 10. - As shown in figure 8, the
end tab 11 and thefurther tabs second surface 9, the C-shaped concavity suitable for housing thelaminar support 3. - Opposite end portions of the
tab 11 can be fixed to corresponding end portions of thefurther tabs - In a version not illustrated, the opposite end portions of the
end tab 11 can be side-by-side, but not fixed to the corresponding end portions of thefurther tabs - In another version not illustrated, the
tabs - In a further version not illustrated, the
end tab 11 and thefurther ends tabs - The magnetic fastening means can further comprise one or more
second magnets 16 applied on an internal surface of thetab 11, in proximity of the opposite end portions thereof. - The
second magnets 16 can also be disc-shaped and are preferably two in number. - In a version not illustrated,
second magnets 16 are applied on an external surface of thetab 11. - In a further version not illustrated,
second magnets 16 are inserted in thicknesses or shims fixed to thesecond surface 9. -
Second magnets 16 of second flap means 7 are provided to interact with thefirst magnets 15 of first flap means 6, as explained in greater detail herein below. - The
first magnets 15, or alternatively thesecond magnets 16, can be replaced by ferrous elements able to interact with the magnets. - During use, a user (not shown) can open the
casing 4 by moving first flap means 6 in the direction indicated by the arrow F3, so that to rotate first flap means 6 by an angle of about 180° with respect to second flap means 7. - Once first flap means 6 and second flap means 7 are aligned, the user grips the
laminar support 3 and progressively inserts it into the guiding means 10, sliding thelaminar support 3 in a direction indicated by the arrow F1 which is parallel to thefirst surface 8 and thesecond surface 9. - With reference to Figures 2 and 3, the
laminar support 3, being slightly smaller than first flap means 6 and/or second flap means 7, can slide into the guiding means 10 along direction F1 up to reach the end tab 11 (Figure 3). In this way, thesupport 3 stays inserted in the guiding means 10 until the user extracts it again. - It is thus possible to insert and extract the
laminar support 3 easily and rapidly from thecontainer 1, even many times over, without risking to damage or to break thecontainer 1 and/or thesupport 3. - Furthermore, it is not necessary to provide perforated plastic pockets for the
coins 2, nor ring binders that can ruin the plastic pockets. This permits a container to be obtained which is substantially simple to construct and the aesthetic aspect thereof remains substantially unaffected over time. - With reference to Figures 5 and 6, after having inserted the
support 3 in the guiding means 10, the user can close thecasing 4 by moving first flap means 6 in a direction indicated by arrow F2, opposite to the previous direction F3, so as to rotate again first flap means 6 by a 180° angle with respect to second flap means 7. Thus, first flap means 6 is arranged substantially parallel to second flap means 7, and is in contact with second flap means 7 so that thefirst surface 8 and thesecond surface 9 face one another. - With particular reference to Figure 6, when the
container 1 is in the closed configuration as described above, thefirst magnets 15 of first flap means 6 and the correspondingsecond magnets 16 of second flap means 7 are at a distance from one another which enables a reciprocal magnetic attraction to take place, which magnetic attraction keeps first flap means 6 and second flap means 7 associated to one another. - To open again the
casing 4 of thecontainer 1, it is sufficient to grip first flap means 6 and second flap means 7 and to distance them from one another according to two directions F4, F5, which are parallel and opposite to one another. Thus, the attraction between thefirst magnets 15 and thesecond magnets 16 is overcome and first flap means 6 can be rotated with respect to second flap means 7 according to the direction F3. - Thus the
container 1 can be opened and closed to insert or extract thelaminar support 3 or simply to view theobjects 2 contained therein, very simply and easily. The magnetic fastening means 15, 16 further guarantee a reliable and safe closure, even where thecontainer 1 is frequently used. - Figures 7, 8 and 9 illustrate a version of the
container 1 which differs from the main embodiment in that thecasing 4 comprises' third flap means 17, associated to second flap means 7 by a further longitudinal grove or creasing 28. Third flap means 17 has the same shape of first and second flap means 6, 7 and has athird surface 18 on whichtabs laminar support 3. The magnetic fastening means comprise one or morethird magnets 26, for example two in number, inserted in the thickness of third flap means 17 and arranged to interact, during use, withfourth magnets 25 inserted in or fixed to first flap means 6. In a close configuration, illustrated in figure 9, first flap means 6 is arranged to be substantially parallel to second flap means 7 and in contact therewith, so that thefirst surface 8 and thesecond surface 9 are facing one another. First flap means 6 comprises anexternal surface 19 opposite thefirst surface 8. Third flap means 17 is arranged so as to be substantially parallel to first flap means 6 and in contact therewith, so thatthird surface 9 and theexternal surface 19 face one another. - In the illustrated version, guiding means 10 are included on all three surfaces, first 8, second 9 and third, for housing respective laminar supports 3.
